“I felt really bad, we were having an event here and there was a lot of people looking up onto the bridge, and then we had heard the gentleman passed away,” inn owner Patty Adamski said.

Police say Melissa Rasiul, of Bensalem, has been arrested for the fatal hit-and-run accident.

According to police, they received a credible tip which led them to locating Rasiul and the vehicle she allegedly drove, a 2003 GMC pick-up truck.

Rasiul is being charged with accidents involving death (hit and run) and for driving with a suspended PA license.

Police say Stephen Pagano, of Bensalem, has also been charged in connection with this investigation for the alleged role he played covering up the crime. Pagano is being charged with tampering with evidence.

“It appears they hid the vehicle from our sight that night. They then took it to a location in Philadelphia where they did some other things that we really can’t get into right now,” Sergeant William McVey of Bensalem Police said. “There is damage consistent with this accident.”

Police say there is no evidence at this time that drugs or alcohol played a role in this deadly hit-and-run.

Rasiul and Pagano remain jailed, unable to post bail.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Bensalem Police at 215-633-3719.
